[Gluster-users] The file size increased much when copy into a stripe volume ?

[higkoohk]

copy a file to glusterfs , and you'll find the file size much bigger!

# gluster --version
glusterfs 3.4.0 built on Aug  6 2013 11:17:07

1. Create a file `dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/20Gfile bs=1G count=20`
2. Copy the file to mount point of glusterfs `cp /data/20Gfile /mnt/stripe/`
3. The use ls/du/md5sum to see the file size and file hash,you will see
many diff.

----------
    # du -sh /data/20Gfile /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile
/mnt/stripe/20Gfile
    20G     /data/20Gfile    (Source file)
    20G     /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile   (Real Storage Dir)
    160G    /mnt/stripe/20Gfile    (Mount Gluster Dir)
----------
    # ls -l /data/20Gfile /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile
/mnt/stripe/20Gfile

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21474836480 Aug 14 16:32 /mnt/stripe/20Gfile
----------
    # md5sum /data/20Gfile /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile
/mnt/stripe/20Gfile
    24eeb2845cbfda238b78fa165c21607d  /data/20Gfile
    f958a2de2f03f07a374300ae565f6d29  /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile
    24eeb2845cbfda238b78fa165c21607d  /mnt/stripe/20Gfile
----------
    The file hash of /data/glusterfs/stripe/20Gfile on each node are not
same too.
----------

Are they should same as each other?
Why not the file split into 8 node?
